Stake your government on what, @Dave_Eby? A thinly-guised fossil fuel subsidy to largely American-owned gas exports? To protect our public grid, we must block LNG from accessing clean power. “Electrifying” LNG won’t reduce GHGs and would require 8.4 Site C dams in power.#bcpoli

NEW - Premier David Eby did not rule calling an early election if the NDP cannot pass the North Coast Transmission Line bill. He slammed the Conservatives for trying to delay the bill, says BC Greens don’t support it. “I will stake my government on it.” #bcpoli

If BC’s coast belongs to all Canadians, then Sakatchewan’s potash & the oil sands in Alberta are national assets that Ottawa should manage. Look forward to hearing Premiers Moe & Smith elaborate on this remarkable concept. cbc.ca/news/canada/sa…

Every year, as wildfires choke us with smoke and the warnings of drought get louder, our government sides with fossil fuel billionaires over people and the planet. It’s not just apathy that brought us here, it’s corruption. (1/3)

This is such a bad look for @BCGreens, stubbornly making it impossible for the bulk of new members to vote for party leader. They've been given several suggestions as to how to fix this & have refused them, only making tiny changes too inconsequential to matter. I'd sue. #bcpoli

Logging won’t stop wildfires, it’s making them worse. Clearcuts + plantations are more flammable. Old-growth resists fire. Cultural burning reduces risk. Real fire solutions come from Indigenous knowledge, not industry spin. #oldgrowth #bcpoli

An AP examination finds that the Trump administration's Environmental Protection Agency rollbacks would weaken rules projected to save billions of dollars and thousands of lives.

Whoa! Ken Sim & co's motion to remove the fracked gas ban was defeated tonight! PS 1. ABC Van is split! Interesting. 2. This ban won't make new housing more $$$. Price of land is the main cause of that. 3. Fracking gas *costs* BC. It's an over-subsidized scam. #vanpoli #bcpoli
Seth Klein@SethDKlein

Friends! Mobilization works! We just defeated effort to re-allow gas in new building in Vancouver!! Gas industry did all it could to bring back fossil heating. Tonight, they failed 🎉 Special 🙏 2 Councillors @AdrianeCarr, @PtFry, @LisaDominato, @PeterMeiszner & @rebeccaleebligh

This is my field of science. Extreme heat, drought & floods, are causing food spoilage, food shortages, food borne diseases, higher food cost, illness, & starvation around the world. California carrots are banned due to e-coli. Avian flu jumped to humans yaleclimateconnections.org/2024/11/climat…

The Greens lost by only 60 votes in West Vancouver-Sea to Sky last election. It may be that close against the Conservatives this election too. Vote Green. Woodfibre LNG is still a thorny issue in that riding (& for all of us). Thanks Tracey for endlessly fighting this. #bcpoli
Tracey Saxby@tracey_saxby

Thanks to @ainscruickshank and @thenarwhalca for helping to expose how Woodfibre LNG and FortisBC are already harming our community. I'd say I feel like @ErinBrockovich but this work makes my heart race. #StopWoodfibreLNG #StopFortisBC #bcpoli thenarwhal.ca/bc-election-20…

That does it! Adam Olsen on the evening news said the Conservatives were on the far right and NDP on the far left. Olsen has taken over as campaign chair for the Greens.

"Rustad’s comments on Peterson’s podcast are a much more full-throated denial of climate science than he’s displayed in some other venues." It's 2024. This should be disqualifying. #bcpoli
The Tyee@TheTyee

Conservative Leader John Rustad’s distrust of accepted climate science was on full display during an almost two-hour interview with Jordan Peterson. @jenstden breaks down the highlights. #bcpoli #canpoli thetyee.ca/News/2024/09/0…

"I can’t believe the collapse of the BC Libs-BCU- whatever they are coincides with the start of the #SiteC reservoir fill. Karma is still a thing." - message just now from a Peace River resident and longtime dam Site C dam opponent. I laughed. Bleakly. #bcpoli
